Illinois over-under wins: 7
Brian Bennett: Over
Oh, that schedule. The first five games at home, a very manageable road slate and no Nebraska or Michigan State. This season is set up for at least eight wins if the Illini are as good or better than they were a year ago.
Adam Rittenberg: Over
I nearly went with a push here, but I also see the Illini maximizing on an extremely favorable schedule. They should be no worse than 5-1 and possibly 6-0 when Ohio State visits Champaign on Oct. 15. Nathan Scheelhaase will be an even more dangerous quarterback, and while the defense has some question marks, Illinois finally strings together two successful seasons.
